Chapter 174: Zhennan Pass

Mulan Yue closed the alliance channel, found Mu Guiying, and told Mu Guiying about Ouyang Shuo's proposal as it was, wanting to hear Mu Guiying's opinion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After Mu Guiying listened, she was silent. Obviously, this question is also a dilemma for Mu Guiying. According to her original intention, she naturally hoped that Mulan Town could operate independently. However, the reality is that due to lack of funds, the development of Mulan Town has been slow, and her energy has been involved too much to concentrate on military affairs.

After a long time, Mu Guiying looked at Mulan Yue and asked leisurely, "Xiaoyue, let me ask you, how much trust do you have in your brother without clothes?" In addition to allies, are there other feelings in it? ”

Mulan Yue was stunned, not understanding why Mu Guiying asked so much. Fortunately, she has always trusted Mu Guiying, even if she felt strange, she still replied seriously: "Brother Wuyi is not only an ally, he is also an elder brother." Although I am not my own brother, Satsuki can feel that Brother Wuyi's concern for me is sincere. ”

Mu Guiying nodded, noncommittal, "Then let me ask you again, how do you think about the future of Mulan Town?" We are located in the same Lianzhou Basin as Shanhai County, and this problem will have to be faced one day. ”

"Don't hide it from my sister, I've thought about this question too. Sister, you already know that Mom and Dad will be separated from me for a long time. The reason why I want to keep Mulan Town running is to wait for the day when Mom and Dad come back and make them proud of me. As for the future, integrating into the Shanhai County system is the best choice. However, before I integrate, I want to use my own ability to run Mulan Town well. Mulan Yue replied.

Mu Guiying nodded and said, "Then I understand, since this is the case, I agree to allow Shanhai County to open a branch of Sihai Qianzhuang in Mulan Town." In this way, I can also put more energy into suppressing bandits, and cultivate an elite army for the territory to guard Zhennanguan. ”

Mulan Yue was overjoyed, "Okay, then I'll tell Brother Wuyi." ”

After receiving Mulan Yue's affirmative reply, Ouyang Shuo got up and came to Yingyu's office next door.

"Big brother!" Yingyu hurriedly got up and asked Ouyang Shuo to sit down.

After Ouyang Shuo sat down, he told him about Mulan Town, and then said: "Yingyu, what I mean is to transfer Yang Yun back from Beihai Town and send her to Mulan Town. What about your opinion? ”

Cui Yingyu groaned slightly, and said with a smile: "I think it's feasible." Yang Yun participated in the establishment of Sihai Money Village throughout the whole process and had a clear understanding of the operation of Qian Bank. In addition, during this period of time, he presided over the Beihai Town Branch of Qianzhuang and accumulated a lot of grassroots experience, so he should be competent. ”

"Good. Then, in the name of the Finance Department, send a letter to Yang Yun, asking her to rush back to the base camp to report on her work immediately after handing over the work in Beihai Town. As for the successor on the Beihai side, it is enough to draw up the financial department. ”

"Understood." Yingyu nodded, and then asked, "Big brother, over there in the Mulan Town branch, how many reserves are you going to deploy?" ”

Regarding this question, Ouyang Shuo already has a draft, "Over there in Mulan Town, if the reserve fund is too small, it will definitely not work." The first amount of money is set at 2,000 gold coins, which is all the liquidity we can use now. This fund should be able to last for a while, and then invest more when the economy is prosperous in the future. ”

"I agree." Yingyu is also from a business family, so it is naturally clear that once Qianzhuang gains a firm foothold, it is a weapon to attract money, and the investment in the early stage will reap rich returns in the future, which is naturally supported.

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Yuanfeng, the head of the Shenji Battalion, teleported to Luofeng Town with three three-bowed and eight-cow bed crossbows. After seeing Wang Yuanfeng away, Ouyang Shuo turned around and returned to the Lord's Mansion.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Yun returned to Shanhai County and rushed to the lord's office as soon as possible to report on his work.

After Yang Yun's routine debriefing, Ouyang Shuo advised: "Mulan Yue, the lord of Mulan Town, is my friend, and this time Sihai Qianzhuang opened a branch in Mulan Town, which is a normal business activity. When you arrive in Mulan Town, you must remember that you must maintain absolute neutrality, and you must not interfere in the economic affairs of Mulan Town, let alone the affairs of Mulan Town's territory. I mean, do you understand? ”

Sihai Qianzhuang is a sharp blade, if you can't keep a clear head and have a little evil thoughts, it may cause endless harm and make it difficult for Mulan Yue to do. Ouyang Shuo naturally trusted Yang Yun, but because of the importance of the matter, he still didn't feel at ease to advise.

Yang Yun nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, my lord, I know what to do." ”

"That's good." Ouyang Shuo waved his hand and said, "Okay, everything that should be said has already been said." It's not too early, you go to Director Cui and see if Director Cui has anything else to advise. Tomorrow morning, I will personally send you to Mulan Town to take up your post. ”

"Yes!" Yang Yun responded and got up to say goodbye.

The next morning, Ouyang Shuo took Yang Yun and went to Mulan Town through the teleportation array.

Yang Yun is not really alone, in addition to her, the Finance Department also selected two capable salesmen as Yang Yun's assistants to go to work with her. As for the preparatory work of the Mulan Town Branch of Sihai Qianzhuang, Mulan Town is responsible for it, including the selection of grassroots clerks.

Mulan Town's teleportation array, Mulan Yue and Mu Guiying, have been waiting here for a long time.

After the personnel of the two sides met, Ouyang Shuo introduced the two sides in turn. If Sihai Qianzhuang wants to gain a firm foothold in Mulan Town, it must get the support of Mulan Yue, and there are many opportunities for the two sides to deal with each other, so Ouyang Shuo naturally wants to match them.

Ouyang Shuo left Yang Yun and her two assistants behind to discuss the preparations for the Sihai Qianzhuang branch with Mulan Yue, while she, accompanied by Mu Guiying, walked out of Mulan Town and went to Zhennanguan.

Zhennanguan, located twenty kilometers south of the town of Mulan, firmly guards the only access from the Lianzhou Basin to the hinterland of Guangxi, and is now occupied by a group of bandits.

From a distance, in the middle of the canyon nearly 50 meters wide, a majestic pass stands majestically. The entire level, after the baptism of the years, has left mottled traces.

Zhennan Pass is divided into the main checkpoint and the east and west side gates. The main level is twenty meters high and thirty meters wide, and is all made of huge strips of stone. Below the level, there is the only doorway, ten meters high and eight meters wide. There are three gates in the doorway, all of which are closed.

The main level stretches east and west and sticks to the cliffs on both sides without the slightest gap. The extensions on both sides, slightly lower, are only fifteen meters high. There is a side door on each side, six meters high and four meters wide, for people and goods to enter and exit.

"General Mu, do you know anything about the group of bandits occupying the checkpoint?" On the way back from Zhennan Pass, Ouyang Shuo asked Mu Guiying.

This group of bandits is a hidden danger after all, Ouyang Shuo is planning when to cooperate with Mulan Town to uproot them, and Mulan Town will be responsible for guarding them.

Mu Guiying shook his head and said, "You also saw it just now, our meticulous work has no way to get close to Zhennan Pass, and if we lean in a little, we will be exposed in front of the checkpoint guards." ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded, and asked instead, "Then, what do they rely on to make a living, why didn't they go out to loot." Especially Mulan Town, right under their noses, hasn't it been harassed? ”

Mu Guiying frowned and said, "This is what makes me feel strange. According to my speculation, first, at the beginning of their occupation of Zhennan Pass, it is very likely that they hoarded a large amount of supplies in the pass, enough for them to enjoy for a long time. Second, there are still people coming and going at the pass, and the bandits can still make a living by collecting some transit fees. Therefore, they will nest in the pass and rarely go out to plunder. After all, bandits are also human beings, and they are not willing to risk going out to plunder when they have no worries about their livelihood, which will lead to the shedding of blood and death. ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded, agreeing with Mu Guiying's speculation, and said with a smile: "In this way, this group of bandits is by no means a rabble. Their leader is not simple, not only is he sober-minded and far-sighted, but he should also have a high prestige among the bandits. ”

"How?" Mu Guiying was a little curious.

"You think, as you said, most of the bandits are happy to be content with the status quo, that's because, many of them are also desperate, forced by reality to have no choice, so they fall into the grass. The purpose is to eat so that you don't starve to death. This part of the people, of course, is not willing to take risks. However, bandits are bandits, and among them, there are also a group of wicked people, who are cruel by nature, or Jiangyang thieves, or outcasts of the sect, who have lost their humanity and take pleasure in plundering and killing people. Such a group of wicked people would not be willing to stay in the customs all the time and enjoy a peaceful life in their nests. The leader of the bandits can subdue this group of wicked people and restrain them from leaving the customs, you say, this leader, is it very prestigious? Ouyang Shuo explained.

Mu Guiying nodded in agreement.

"Therefore, for the sake of long-term planning, it is best to find a way to eradicate this group of bandits. Otherwise, if one day, the leader can't suppress the group of evil men under his command, won't he be in trouble. For Mulan Town, it is a time bomb that may be detonated at any time. Ouyang Shuo reminded.

"I understand, next, Mulan Town will strengthen the investigation of Zhennanguan Cottage, and strive to find out their details in the shortest possible time." Mu Guiying's face was solemn.

"Those who need the support of Shanhai County, just ask." Ouyang Shuo promised.

"Definitely."

When the two returned to Mulan Town, Mulan Yue was still discussing relevant matters with Yang Yun. Ouyang Shuo didn't stay too long in Mulan Town, and handed over the 2,000 gold coins he brought to Mulan Yue for safekeeping. After the money village is built, Mulan Yue uses the player's storage bag function to turn the gold coins into the money bank vault.

Immediately, Ouyang Shuo passed through the teleportation array and returned to Shanhai County. (To be continued.) )
